A Key Fact

The January 6th show trial and its media allies are relentlessly building a case that Donald Trump planned an “insurrection” on January 6th. 

This is an extraordinarily serious charge to allege, and it is being done in a setting with none of the traditional constitutional safeguards -- like the ability to cross examine witnesses or the ability to call your own witnesses. All of the usual standards of fairness are being completely ignored by the leftist majority.

Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, a lifelong liberal and Biden voter, blasted the conduct of the January 6th Committee, saying, “It’s the first time this has happened in my lifetime since McCarthyism, and it’s despicable.”

And yet with everything tilted one way, no one on the committee has been able to come up with a satisfactory rebuttal to a key fact stated in the Pentagon inspector general’s report on January 6th. 

In that report, the inspector general noted that at 5:30 pm on January 3^rd, President Trump met with acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller and Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley. 

At the end of the meeting, Trump told Miller that it looked like there would be a large number of protesters in Washington, D.C., on January 6th, and he wanted to be certain that sufficient National Guard troops were available to ensure that it remained a safe and peaceful event. Miller responded, “We’ve got a plan, and we’ve got it covered.” 

We can be sure of the accuracy of this exchange because the person who relayed the information about the White House meeting to the Pentagon inspector general was none other than General Mark “Thoroughly Modern” Milley. 

Now, does that sound like something that a president planning an “insurrection” would do?
